The Guild of 19 European Research-Intensive Universities just suggested five moonshot missions aimed at achieving a few of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The five moonshot missions proposed to be introduced in the FP9 by the guild are:

Concerning the first moonshot mission it can hardly be a surprise taking into account the ongoing rampant cases of fake authorship and even fake data. Its obvious that the credibility of science needs saving otherwise one of these days there will be nothing left worth saving. As to the fifth mission probably probably it would be better to end first the superbug factories http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/09/are-antibiotics-turning-livestock-superbug-factories otherwise just relying on the development of new antibiotics would never be enough to solve the problem.
